I have a 2021 F150 SCREW 2.7L with 3.55 gears and a 2022 Bronco 2.7L with 3.73 gears. Both with 32” tires.

There is no comparison between the two. I thought the Bronco would be a rocket ship with the 2.7 based on my experience with the F150, I was wrong. Ford limited the output in the Bronco big time cause of the weaker transmission. It’s still a fun vehicle, but kinda a waste of a good motor.
I'm assuming a good tuner/programmer can wake the Bronco 2.7 up, really sucks if Ford did this to keep from tearing up a weak transmission

Interesting... Don't suppose anyone has 2.7 quarter times from both vehicles that we can compare?
I said the same thing when I test drove the 2.7 and you would have thought I talked shit about these guys mothers. I had a higher expectation as well…

When I want to pretend I’m king of the stop light, I drive the Mustang. Mustang is crap for rock crawling tho.
